Abstract

Patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy develop serious osteoarticular diseases. The treatment is based on prevention. The aim of our study is to determine the frequency and the associated factors to the rheumatic manifestations in hemodialysis patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted, including all hemodialysed patients in our dialysis unit. Information was obtained from patients’ symptoms, examination findings, and biological and radiological signs. The frequency of symptoms was 70% in our patients. It was proportional to the duration of hemodialysis and number of hemodialysis sessions per week. Early transplantation is of course a plausible solution, but other therapies such as improved dialysis must be considered.
